Soda Pop makes you gain weight. If you want to lose weight, don't drink Soda Pop. Drink WATER !!!!!!! You can add some drink mix (without aspartame)in your water. Aspartame is in Soda Pop and it is BAD for you. I want to lose weight, I don't want any health problems in my life. I am a 47 year old female, right now I weigh 162.0 lbs. Four years ago I was 197 lbs. My goal is 130.0 lbs. I know I will get there while drinking water instead of Soda Pop. I have given up Soda Pop. I don’t ever want to drink Soda Pop again.

Tasted great and cut my consumption in 1/2. At least that's better!!! And it was something different to drink.

Just blend the melon part of a watermelon. Pick out the pits before blending. Then add a few ice cubes. This is more refreshing than soda and better for you! I make watermelon juice.

However, these do not help the problem of caffine withdrawal. I've been drinking diet coke for years & am up to about a 2 liter a day if I'm home all day. I try to use the packets to add flavor to water thru out the day to lessen the amount. I tell myself, that someday I'll make a full day without the very bad headache the withdrawl causes. I've tried several times, but, the agravation it causes me & my family just isn't worth it. Any ideas would be wonderful. Very good ideas.

I found a nice replacement was novelty ice cube trays. My local grocery store has them in the $1 section. The trays are about the same size as conventional ice cube trays but they make about 60 cubes a tray. The trays that make shaped cubes (i.e. starfish, flowers, etc.) tend to make smaller than conventional cubes as well. Hope it helps.

It's a much better alternative healthwise and I do find I get enough of a caffeine kick from it. See <a href="http://tipnut.com/guide-green-tea/" rel="nofollow">my guide on green tea here</a>. If you buy commercially made iced green tea, watch the sugar content, some brands are pretty hefty! For a caffeine fix, check out green tea (it can be served cold as well).
